great painting. They aren´t as nasty as I can imagine......................sorry, that sounds a bit like the two old gits from harry enfield..but I mean they could show a lot more..?? horror of war..not your figs but showing the effects of all manner of sharp pices of metal.. Are there such figs about??Cheerspaul

This time,I must admit I don't like the idea of these, Lurk. Dead people should not be a part of any game. Once people start playing in that way, it gets a bit offensive to all of those who really lost someone in wars, and it also makes people insensitive toward real killings and victims :(

Not sure I get some of the comments on today's casualties of war post, they're not real people and they're for a game!!! A wargame??? In war people sadly die, in a wargame figures are taken off to represent this, they become a casualty of war. This is definitely not offensive or insensitive, the are just markers for a game.

I think casualty figures remind us that real war has consequences. Too frequently we are presented with a romanticized view of war that can skew our perceptions.

Rather than being offended because of friends & family members who have lost their lives in war, I feel that it is a reminder that war is dangerous, can take loved ones away from us and is not something that should be undertaken lightly. War involves sacrifice on a most dreadful scale.

I feel that the figures above are presented in a tasteful manner, and I'm not offended at all.
